Paul Octavious

Ryan and I had the pleasure of meeting Paul in person shortly after we moved to New York over two years ago and we’ve been wanting to interview him ever since then. Turns out we’re not the only ones—we’ve received multiple requests from readers to have Paul on TGD and, now, we’re making it happen. I finally had the opportunity to catch up with this designer-turned-photographer and find out more about his path. Surprisingly, photography was an accidental discovery, but an immediate love for Paul, who shares his story thus far in this week’s issue. Read on and be inspired! —Tina
